I put the chine logs on the outside to help protect the plywood and because I didn't think I could make inner chines work on my first boat build. I'm ready to build the next skiff with inner chines now!

Dave, thanks for the hook up with the extra key switch. We ended up just jumping the safety swith to test her out.

Overall she runs well solo but needs that extra person or some weight in the bow to get the v in the water. The performance is well above the traditional flat bottom and will not skip when hitting the tight corners. The build was purely experimental and I think we hit the spot for a 15ft boat with a 4ft plus beam.

Hey Bryan, Not sure if you're interested but my mother-in-law has a rack of leftover wood from my deceased father-in-laws wood shop. There was quite of pile of leftovers from his projects that might be of use at the school. I will get a list of what's there together if you're interested. I'm sure she'd donate it. I have a few pieces of mahogany too that I'd donate. Let me know if you take that kind of stuff.

Hey Bryan, I have to apologize for a false alarm. The woodworking type lumber is gone other than some scraps. The guy that bought all the shop equipment took it 2 years ago and I haven't looked at the racks until tonight. It wasn't part of the deal but I guess she was feeling generous and wanted to get it out of there. What's left is some odds and ends of construction lumber and I know a guy doing his upstairs over on a shoestring budget so I'm sure he'll be happy to take it.

I'll be cleaning it out in the next couple weeks and if anything pops up I'll let you know. Probably a 1/4 of it is just food for a bonfire but he wouldn't throw anything away. I'll be cleaning that house out for another 10 years the way it's going :x
